Tall Order and United Legwear & Apparel Co. support the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation's mission to inspire children & youth to become responsible citizens
NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tall Order, a New York-based men's apparel and accessory company that specializes in extended sizes, along with their partner, United Legwear & Apparel Co. (ULAC), are proud to announce their VIP Reception Signature Sponsorship of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation "All-Star Evening" Gala on January 26, 2022.
"The mission of ALL RISE is to inspire children and youth to become responsible citizens and encourage them to reach unlimited possibilities," said Aaron Judge, New York Yankees outfielder and Founder of the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation. "I am excited to broaden our involvement with the youth of New York, through our Mini-Grants, ALL RISE Baseball ProCamps, and other exciting programs and initiatives!"
"As we have expanded our focus to engage with youth in New York, the enthusiasm for the "All-Star Evening" Gala has been overwhelming. Our goals are driven by our dreams for the future. Exciting times are ahead for the New York youth, as our initiatives, programs and collaborations continue to grow. We are thankful to Tall Order and United Legwear & Apparel Co. for their commitment as the VIP Reception Signature Sponsor of our "All-Star Evening." Proceeds from this inaugural New York event will make a real impact for our New York kids," stated Patty Judge, President of AJARF and Aaron's mother.
Started by twin brothers Mike & Dan Friedman, who stand 6'11" & 6'9" respectively, Tall Order honors the memory of the Friedmans' father Andrew, who was killed on September 11, 2001 in the World Trade Center. To fulfill the "tall order" of giving back for all the help they received after 9/11, Tall Order makes fashionable, fun, comfortable socks for men in sizes 9 to 20 as a nod to the socks the family provided to first responders during the 9/11 recovery efforts; Tall Order also donates a portion of their profits to various health and human services organizations that focus on families and youth in times of need.
To grow their business and break into new categories of apparel, Tall Order entered into a partnership with United Legwear & Apparel Co. for design, development and manufacturing, and will soon announce the addition of underwear and tee shirts to their current line of men's accessories in the coming months.
"Working with Patty Judge and the Aaron Judge ALL RISE Foundation is an honor," said Lisa Friedman Clark, President of Tall Order. "Andrew was a fanatical Yankee fan and passed his love of the team to Mike and Dan. Now my sons, who rival Aaron in height, can pay it forward by helping youth in the communities in and around the Bronx as well as other areas. What a meaningful way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11/01. Andy is beaming."
